Christmas fun fold card using Night in Bethlehem stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

Loving my first play with the new Night In Bethlehem stamp set and co-ordinating Bethlehem Edgelit dies. This set is going to be so much fun to use, lots of fab ideas buzzing around in my head.

I decided to make a Flip Corner Card to show off this stamp set and started with a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock 8¼” by 5⅞”. I scored and folded at 4⅛” then insert the front of the card base into your Paper Trimmer, short side at the top and line up on the left hand side at 7.5cm. Lift up the clear cutting guard and bring the cutting blade down to 7.5cm. Lower the blade and cut upwards, stopping at 1.5cm.

Rotate the cardstock 90° clockwise then flip the card so the inside is uppermost and the cut line is on the left hand panel. Line the left hand edge up with the 7.5cm mark and the cutting blade at 7.5cm and cut upwards stopping at 1.5cm.

Line both the 1.5cm points up with the cutting groove and score from the edge of the cardstock to the 1.5cm point on both sides. Gently fold on these score lines. The ‘square’ should now be flipped over in front. Glue in place with Tombow Liquid adhesive.

Next I die cut the squares using the Layering Squares Framelit Dies as follows: the 2^nd largest from Gold Foil cardstock, the 3^rd largest from Basic Black cardstock and the 4^th largest from Whisper White cardstock. I die cut the star from the Bethlehem Edgelit dies from the centre of the gold foil square.

I stamped the row of buildings in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Sahara Sand ink onto the small Whisper White square and along the bottom of the card front with the 1st generation Sahara Sand ink. I then adhered the Whisper White square to the Basic Black square and then onto the Gold Foil square using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the die cut Gold Foil star to the upper right hand corner of the stamped panel.

Before adding the layered squares to the flipped corner I adhered the 5” by ⅛” strip across the diagonal folded edge with Tombow, and then trimmed off the overhanging pieces. I just felt that the fold needed some definition.  The square topper was then added to the flipped over square using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the ‘Mary and Joseph’ using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Sahara Sand cardstock and die cut before adding to the bottom left hand corner of the card front using Tombow.

The ‘shepherd’ image was stamped onto the lower right hand corner of a Whisper White 5½” by 3¾” panel using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and this panel was then adhered to a layer of Basic Black 5¾” by 4” using Tombow and added to the inside of the card.

Again using Momento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the ‘Mary and Joseph’ image onto the front of a Whisper White envelope.

I was really happy with the look of this card. Hope you like it.
